Recently Orbit White sent me some Bubblemint Gum to review and help promote their partnership with Bright Pink. Bright Pink is a non-profit organization that works towards preventing and teaching about breast and ovarian cancer. They are very proactive in their approach. I am thrilled to help promote a product like Orbit White who is donating 10% of the sales to Bright White. Go out and buy a pack today!

I also want to encourage all women to sign up for Underwire Alerts brought to you by Bright Pink. Underwire Alerts will send you a monthly text message reminding you to do your monthly self check breast exam. Just text PINK to 59227.

I have been chewing the bubblemint flavor of Orbit White. It is a combination of traditional bubble gum and mint gum. I love this combination of flavors and this was my first experience with it. I also find the texture of Orbit White to be smooth, not grainy like some chewing gums.

I am very lucky to not have any family history of breast cancer. But my neighbor who is 86 and quite cantankerous, just recently found out she had it. She told the doctors "I've had this breast for 86 years and you're not taking it away" so I guess she's made peace with her fate. She's quite a character.

My aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer, and suffered a recurrence. She has now been in remission for about a year, but I know that the disease could come back at any time. I feel for my aunt, and for my mother (who is very close to her sister, and now knows she has an increased risk of breast cancer herself).

I have not been affected by brast cancer but my parents both passed away from cancer and i have known people as young as 30 struggling with this disease after they thought they got rid of it allkerrisixtynine at gmaildotcom
